2016 Ranger Tugs R-31CB — "Cadence"

Cadence is an exceptionally equipped and lovingly maintained 2016 Ranger Tugs R-31 Command Bridge (NW Edition). Featuring the classic teak and holly sole—a highly sought-after feature absent in newer models—she blends timeless craftmanship with modern cruising technology.

Powered by a smooth, efficient Volvo Penta D4 300HP diesel engine (1,200 hours) that has been rigorously maintained by certified Volvo technicians, Cadence is turnkey and ready for immediate adventures through local Northwest waters or north to Alaska. From an upgraded Victron-monitored solar bank to a newly ceramic-coated exterior gelcoat, no detail has been overlooked.
